And so with Yale, perhaps. It may be suspected that Harry Mehre, Georgia coach, is laying his plans for the Yale battle at New Haven tomorrow on the assumption that his eleven good men and true are going to play a similar number of able-bodied Elis. Yale's great pe- | serve strength is too well known to permit Mehre to belicve his team is 1n for anything but a tough att ernoon. Although Nash and Georgia's great ends of will be missing, Mchre is sending a veteran aggregation against the Bulldogs of the north. Nash and Shriver played a big part 1n Georgia's 14-10 victory over the Elis last season but Mehre believes he has found the men to Hil their | places. Mal Stevens has been unable to send his first-string team through a single scrimmage this week. All but three of his tirst choices have been cither on the sick or the injured list. There is gloom enough at New Haven but Yale teams have over- come hundicaps betore.

Every member of the crew realizes that he toughest game of the season so far is to be played Sunday and to that end all efforts were devoted to perfecting signals por and plays. Following the workout, officiass of the club expressed themselves as fully satistied with the form of the team. The line wus charging to pe tection while the backfield has de- veloped a smoothness that has been lacking hiterto. Buckley and Belon- | ki paired up at half back while D vis was in fullback and as the var- fous plays we run off by Radze- wich who will ve stationed at quar- terback, improvement could be seen all the time, Manager Henry Zehrer stated to- day that the starting lineup of the New Britain team will probably be O’Connell and Conley at ends, Wer- waiss and Conklin at tackles, Gnas- dow and Humphrey at guards and The quartet men- tioned above will be in the backfield.

Al Middleton, the new husky who joined the New Britain high school football squad the day before yes- terday, reported for practice for the second time yesterday afternoon. Fans, alumni, and fellow players are convinced beyond uny question of a doubt that he is the goods. Yesterday's practice wa$ given over almost exclusively to forward passing. Since there is still a ques- tion as to whether or not he will be eligibte, Coach Cassidy used Middie- ton on the second team in a halfback position. On the back, threw a pass but Middleton in- tercepted it and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. The second team held this advantage throughout the after- noon until darkness when the first team N\rrled the ball rushes, One of the things noticed about the new man was his tackling ability. When he tackles he leaves his feet and when he hits he invariably gets ! his man. Another thing favorahle to the new man is his ahility to take it and he certainly had a chance when his rivals tackled him yes terday. At Full Strength The first team was at its full strength with the exception of Gun- ny Nelson at end who has a shoul- |der infection. The secand team was without two backfield men and an lend. The first team lineup consisted Casale, center: Bzymanski of tHe following: Potts and Kuhs, guard: and Ludinowicz, tackles; the sub- stitute and Bogdanski, ends; L: dino quarterback; Grip and Zaleski, half bac! and Bowka, fullback. Nevulis was in uniform and he took part in the signal drill but he did not take part in the scrimmage. The second team lineup consisted of Gasda, center; Mikalauskas and Pittsinger, guards; Kayeski and Neverdoskl tackles; Baylock and Grohol, ¢nds; Ross, quarterback; Greenlay and Middleton, half backs and Wesoly, fullbagk. The second team was without fts regular end, half back and fullback. Wesoly who shifted from half back to fullback featured with Middleton in the team's play especially in snatching forward passes. The second team intercepted sev- eral of the regulars’ passes and the regulars returned the favor more than once. The teams appeared to be evenly matched and yesterday’'s practice was invaluable to the team since it developed a forward pass- ing attack and defense. Outside of Nelson there are two other players on the hospital list. They are Henry Kraszewski, sub- stitute half back and Billy Ross, substitute quarterback. Ross played despite his injuries yesterday The team members are anxious to be in the very best possible condi- tion for the they know they are in for a tough fight. Some of the players who up to this time have been avolding training have decided to abandon thix procedure to settle down for the rest of the season. Knowing that they will have the keenest of com- petition from the new-comers the backfield men are now working hard an effort to hold their places.
